@wellerstein I see what you're getting at - it's a good impulse I just don't think you can overcome the banality of the calendar format.

@AnnaNReser My major efforts are always about riding that line, because it's the only way anything gets beyond academic circles.

@wellerstein no objection to your intent here. Just as a design person, I think the calendar form works against your purpose.

@wellerstein the form itself is about being noncontroversial and pleasing to look at.

@AnnaNReser @wellerstein sorry to butt in but I too blinked @ the calendar medium. I had more of an issue w fetishism than contextualization

.@AnnaNReser @wellerstein calendars often fetishize bodies & equating the image of nuclear weapons w this platform is troubling

@leilasedai @AnnaNReser That's an interesting association — the calendars I see are never about bodies, but it may be the circles I run in.

.@wellerstein @AnnaNReser just walk down the aisle at barnes&noble, firefighters, football chererleaders, pinups, &tc
